1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) represent a big class of important RNA molecules. Given the large number of ncRNAs, identifying their functional sites is becoming one of the most important topics in the post-genomic era, but available computational methods are limited. For the above purpose, we previously presented a tertiary structure based method, Rsite, which first calculates the distance metrics defined in Methods with the tertiary structure of an ncRNA and then identifies the nucleotides located within the extreme points in the distance curve as the functional sites of the given ncRNA. However, the application of Rsite is largely limited because of limited RNA tertiary structures. Here we present a secondary structure based computational method, Rsite2, based on the observation that the secondary structure based nucleotide distance is strongly positively correlated with that derived from tertiary structure. This makes it reasonable to replace tertiary structure with secondary structure, which is much easier to obtain and process. Moreover, we applied Rsite2 to three ncRNAs (tRNA (Lys), Diels-Alder ribozyme, and RNase P) and a list of human mitochondria transcripts. The results show that Rsite2 works well with nearly equivalent accuracy as Rsite but is much more feasible and efficient. Finally, a web-server, the source codes, and the dataset of Rsite2 are available at http://www.cuialb.cn/rsite2.
